Jack in a Box

By Joanne Thomson • Professional company

60 minutes•Shedinburgh Fringe Festival
When Kingmead Police Department receives the ultimate severed virtue signal in a box, they’re forced to come to their own reckonings of what justice should look like. Embroiled in sheer dystopian impracticality, Jack in a Box is one giant metaphor for the failings of our justice system when it comes to sexual assault. Told through the eyes of Barbara, the receptionist, this is a rare insight into the farcical social agreement to suppress your trauma and keep going in everyday rooms. Think The Office meets Promising Young Woman.
